In a statement, CASE said the sender who claimed to be a bank representative acting on behalf of The World Bank would inform the email recipients of an inheritance that was due to them.
The recipients would then be required to transfer a sum of money to a designated bank account before collecting the money.
In order to authenticate the existence of such a sum of money, the sender had modified the CaseTrust certificate to give a false impression of the consumer body's collaboration with The World Bank.
This fake certificate would then be sent to the recipients as a form of verification.
CASE said it has not and will not work with The World Bank on such transactions.
The World Bank is also not accredited by CaseTrust. LINK
